Today is National Iced Tea Day, June 10th! This day is near and dear to me because I recently reversed my pre-diabetic bloodwork by exercising, eating the right kind of carbs and the big change – getting rid of added sugars! My doctor is so proud of me!
It’s crazy how much added sugars are in many of the beverages that folks consume. So I pay attention to what I drink as well. Discovering the Tejava unsweetened tea brand has enhanced my new nutrition plan because I get tired of just drinking water all day. Tejava teas have no sugar, no calories and no added preservatives, so the beverage is authentic and tastes like I brewed it myself. I love that! Plus Tejava teas are a cut above because the tea is made in small batches using high quality tea leaves from Java, Indonesia that let the natural flavors shine through. I love that!
So to celebrate National Iced Tea, I have come up with a summer gathering menu that pairs several Tejava tea flavors and drink recipes with party foods that will elevate your entertaining table.
Tejava has tea-luscious flavors that include Pineapple Mango, Peach, Raspberry, Original, Lemon and more! My favorite is the Pineapple Mango. The Pineapple Mango, Peach and Original are all now sold at Sprouts Farmers Market, too!
I showed these pairings in my Arizona Daily Mix morning show segment, which I will add to this article when I receive it from the show producer. 
Take a look at these entertaining pairing ideas…
